Description
After the astonishing success of THE NAKED APE (eight million copies sold worldwide) Desmond Morris embarked on a comprehensive field study of human behaviour. It resulted in another best-selling book MANWATCHING, the starting-point for the Thames Television series and book THE HUMAN RACE, which gives detailed case-studies of the human success story. In MANWATCHING the author presents the familiar in an unfamiliar light, analysing his countless observations in many different countries of the way in which people act-in public and private. Packed with fascinating details and hundreds of photographs MANWATCHING has become established as a fabulous encyclopaedia of information on the human race.
Now this Pocket Guide makes the essential ideas available to an even wider audience, forming a compact, easy-to-use guide and reference for the reader's own observations. Together with its companion volume GESTURES, it provides a concise introduction to the whole subject of 'body language', as well as being a stimulating complement to THE HUMAN RACE. ISBN:0586056289
